WINGHAM.—Villa at the Vine Yards, see p. 125. Potter’s kiln, see p. 131 . A Samian bowl of form 37 by Paternus, and a dish, form 36, both Lezoux ware of the 2nd century, were found together here. [British Museum. The bowl is figured in Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot. li, 156.]
    WITTERSHAM.—See Stone-in-Oxney.
   WOODNESBOROUGH.—Roman coins (one gold) are said to have been found here. [Harris, Hist. of Kent (1719), 366.] A Samian saucer, 7½ in. diameter, stamped AVITI MA was found on Lord Northbourne’s land. The Kent Arch. Soc.’s Museum, Catal. in Arch. Cant. xix, 10]  At Walton, 500 yds. from the Church, a layer of earth full of burnt bones extending over an area 10 ft. square, thought to be Roman funeral piles, but no objects of Roman date are recorded. [Arch. Cant. xxv,. proc. p. lxvi.]  Roman coins are also said to have been found on the west side of the road from Eastry to Ash. [Payne, in Name Books of Ordnance Survey Maps of Kent, marked on 25 inch Sheet No. xlviii, 10.] The remains at Buttsole are Saxon. An oddly ornamented jug in grey ware, with curious incised pattern (possibly Jutish rather than Roman) found 1828. [In Mayer Collection, Liverpool Museum, No. 7088.] A large ovoid jar of dull red gritted clay is in Maidstone Museum. [Inf. from Mr. .H. J. Elgar.]
   WOOLWICH.—See also Charlton. Potsherds and burial urns have been found in Dial Square in the Royal Arsenal, and Roman coins are said to have been embedded in the earth wall of the Embankment. [Hasted, Hist. of Kent (ed. Streatfeild, 1886), i, 159—160.] A large urn with bones, and two small vessels containing ashes, were unearthed in digging drains in the Carriage Department of the Arsenal. [Illustrated Lond. News, 9 April, 1853, p. 280.] These urns are now in the British Museum. Arch. Journ. ix, 9.]
   WORTH.—In Castle Field, near the junction of the Worth, Sandwich and Deal roads, a temple of Romano-Celtic type, which had been partially uncovered by Boys [Hist. of Sandwich, p. 869] in the 18th century, was further explored by Mr. W. G. Klein in 1925. The celia, 18 ft. 10 in by 18 ft 6 in. internally, consisted of chalk walls, 2 ft. thick, and was surrounded by a verandah or portico, 8 ft. wide. It retained part of a rough flooring of tiles and chalk, in which, face downwards, was found a carved stone displaying a well-modelled right hand clasping a spear. At a lower depth near by was found another carved hand, apparently resting on a shield. These were presumably remains of a cult statue representing Minerva or some similar goddess; but, if so, the statue had been discarded before the temple was disused. Other finds included Roman pottery, a coin of Constantine II, and three small model shields of Romano-Celtic type and probably of the 1st century A.D. Beneath the temple were found post-holes, rough flooring, and pottery of the late Hallstatt and La Tène periods, but whether these represented a pre Roman temple on the site was not ascertained. [Ant. Journ. viii, 76.]
    WOULDHAM.—See Burham.
   WROTHAM.—See also Borough Green. Wrotham has, without any adequate reason, been identified as Vagniacae. Roman remains were found at the reservoir at Excedown, 1899. [E. Harrison, Harrison of Ightham, pp. 249—250.] At Camp, close to the Malling-Ightham road, burnt bones, two bronze finger-rings, a Castor vase and an urn were found by the side of but not under, five roof riles set on edge, with one across, about 1908—a not uncommon form of Roman burial. Arch. Cant. xxix, lxxxiii.]
